Make sure your sales voicemails convey the hard results customers see more than they relay how those results are achieved. Your first priority is grabbing your prospect's attention — you can dig into the nitty-gritty aspects of a sale as your relationship progresses.

When you get this message, please call me back at (your number). That number again is (your number) and ask for _________. I look forward to speaking with you, and I guarantee you’ll be glad you returned this call.”
I remember hanging up the phone every time I heard a Voicemail message. I froze with fear and couldn’t speak.
You need the caller to feel like they’re responsible for taking the next step. “Call me back” is too generic (and can come off as a little desperate, too, which is a turn-off), and saying you’ll follow-up with them completely removes any responsibility on their part.
To recover a deleted message, tap Deleted Messages, tap the message, then tap Undelete.
As a bonus, here is an example of our own holiday voicemail greeting here at OpenPhone:
OK, so I followed all the instructions that came with the machine. I pressed all the necessary buttons. So… now what? I… am… so… confused. Could you please… beep.

4. Before each voicemail message is played, enter the number associated with deleting a message.
You probably touched on this at the end of your last conversation, but if you haven't heard from your prospect in a while, this can be a useful strategy for getting back on their radar.
"I did have at one point in time like 103 unheard messages," says 31-year-old Antonia Kidd.
Why should they respond to you? How will your product or service help them? Will it make their job easier or allow them to get more done in less time? These are examples of real benefits and your sales voicemails need to contain something similarly beneficial.
We are unable to come to the phone right now. At the tone, please leave your name, number, and Master Card, Visa, or American Express account number and we’ll get back to, pending credit approval.
Think through what you are going to say before you place the call. When men hear the beep, they often freeze up and forget what they wanted to say. If you want to be the go-to guy at work, then you have to exhibit competence on all levels. Don’t spoil your confident image by hemming and hawing and filling your messages with “uhhhhs,” and “ummmms.” If it’s a really important call, consider writing out what you want to say beforehand. If the person picks up, great, you now have some notes to remember what you wanted to talk about. If they don’t answer, you can leave a clear and concise message.
